how old is your chin?  if hes younger, it sometimes take time for them to realize what to do.  i dont know why, i thought something like that was natural until i had a young kit and it didnt quite know what to do.   :2funny:  i would put the dust on him when he was in the dust bath, quite frankly, i dont know if that helps or not, i just did it,... he will eventually figure it out tho.
